The  Physicians’  and  Students’  Ready-Reference  Series 

Includes  publications  of  great  value  to  students  during  their  attendance  at  college,  and 
to  the  busy  physician  in  his  daily  practice.  While  they  in  no  way  attempt  to  supplant 
the  various  Text-Books,  it  cannot  be  doubted  that  they  are  necessary  to  the  often  overworked 
student  when  examination  time  is  approaching,  previous  to  which,  for  weeks,  but  little 
time  can  be  gained  from  the  lectures  in  which  to  make  careful  and  thorough  preparation 
for  the  examination-room. 

Complete  synopses  of  the  several  important  branches,  and  valuable  monographs  on 
various  important  subjects,  are  furnished  in  the  publications  of  this  series  in  such  form 
and  arrangement  by  competent  writers  as  to  render  them  of  special  practical  value  to  the 
busy  student  and  also  to  the  physician  in  active  practice.  The  volumes  are  neat-  and  con- 
venient in  size  and  shape,  and  appropriately  illustrated  with  many  fine  wood-engravings. 

See  Pages  3,  20,  21,  and  27  for  those  now  published,  and  the 
upper  part  of  this  page  for  those  in  preparation.

The  part  on  Physical  Electricity,  written  by  Dr.  Liebig,  one  of  the  recognized 
authorities  on  the  science  in  the  United  States,  treats  fully  such  topics  of  interest  as

HAND-BOOK 


OF 

Materia  Medina,  Pbapmaeij,  and  flierapeuties 

By  CUTHBERT  BOWEN,  M.D.,  B.A., 

Editor  of  “ Notes  on  Practice." 


EXTRACT  FROM  THE  PREFACE. — “ While  this  is  essentially  a Student’s  Manual,  alarge 
amount  of  matter  has  been  incorporated  which,  it  is  hoped,  will  render  it  a useful  reference-book  to  the  young 
graduate  who  is  just  entering  on  his  professional  career,  and  more  particularly  the  individual  whose  sphere 
of  work  demands  a more  practical  acquaintance  with  pharmaceutical  processes  than  is  required  of  the  ordi- 
nary city  practitioner.  Great  care  has  been  taken  throughout  the  book  to  familiarize  the  student  with  the 
best  methods  of  administering  the  various  drugs  he  will  be  called  upon  to  use,  and  with  this  object  a large 
number  of  standard  prescriptions  have  been  selected  from  the  works  of  the  most  eminent  authorities,  which 
he  can  either  adopt . with  modifications  to  suit  particular  cases,  or  use  as  models  on  which  to  construct  his  own 
formulae."  


This  excellent  manual  comprises  in  its  366  small 
octavo  pages  about  as  much  sound  and  valuable  in- 
formation on  the  subjects  indicated  in  its  title  as 
could  well  be  crowded  into  the  compass.  The  book 
is  exhaustively  and  correctly  indexed,  and  of  a con- 
venient form.  The  paper,  press-work,  and  binding 
are  excellent,  and  the  typography  (long  primer  and  I 
brevier)  is  highly  to  be  commended,  as  opposed  to 
the  nonpareil  and  agate  usually  used  incompendsof  1 
this  sort,  and  which  are  destructive  to  vision  and 
temper  alike. — Si.  Louis  Med.  and  Surg.  Jour. 

In  going  through  it,  we  have  been  favorably  im- 
pressed by  the  plain  and  practical  suggestions  in 
regard  to  prescription  writing,  and  the  metric  sys- 
lem,  and  the  other  things  which  must  be  known  in 
order  to  write  good  and  accurate  prescriptions. — 
Medical  and  Surgical  Reporter. 

Many  works  claim  more  in  their  title-pages  than 
can  be  verified  further  on,  but  the  only  adverse 


criticism  we  can  make  on  this  volume  is  that  it  does 
not  claim  enough. — Southern  California  Prac- 
titioner. 

The  book  is  one  of  the  very  best  of  its  class. — 
Columbus  Medical  Journal. 

This  is  a very  condensed  and  valuable  resume 
of  the  drugs  recognized  by  the  United  States  Phar- 
macopoeia, and  all  the  officinal  and  important 
preparations. — Southern  Medical  Record. 

Dr.  Bowen’s  work  is  a very  valuable  one  indeed, 
and  will  be  found  “to  fill  a want"  beyond  a doubt. 
— Cincinnati  Medical  News. 

It  is  short  and  concise  in  its  treatment  of  the 
subjects,  yet  it  gives  sufficient  to  gain  a very  correct 
knowledge  of  everything  that  comes  under  this  head- 
ing. This  is  a ready  work  for  the  country  physician, 
who  must  o f necessity  have  a more  practical  acquain- 
tance with  pharmaceutical  processes. — Medical 
Brief.

them  at  any  time.  1 hus  he  will  always  have  at  hand  a source  of  individual  improvement  and  benefit  in 
the  practice  of  his  profession,  the  value  of  which  can  hardly  be  overestimated.

This  remarkable  book  has  passed  through  eight  (8)  editions  in  less 
than  five  years,  has  met  with  the  unanimous  and  hearty  approval  of  the 
Profession,  and  is  practically  indispensable  to  every  young  graduate 
who  aims  at  success  in  his  chosen  profession.  It  has  just  undergone  a 
thorough  revision  by  the  author,  who  has  added  much  new  matter  cover- 
ing many  points  and  elucidating  many  excellent  ideas  not  included  in 
former  editions.  This  unique  book,  the  only  complete  one  of  the  kind 
ever  written,  will  prove  of  inestimable  pleasure  and  value  to  the  practi- 
tioner of  many  j'ears’  standing,  as  well  as  to  the  young  physician  who 
needs  just  such  a work  to  point  the  way  to  success. 

We  give  below  a few  of  the  many  unsolicited  letters  Received  by 
the  author,  and  extracts  from  reviews  in  the  Medical  Journals  of  the 
former  editions : 


“ ‘The  Physician  Himself’  is  an  opportune  and 
most  useful  book,  which  cannot  fail  to  exert  a good 
influence  on  the  morale  and  the  business  success  of 
the  Medical  profession.” — From  Prof.  Roberts 
Ba  rtholow,  Philadelphia , Pa.

pleasure — delight.  It  is  brimful  of  medical  and 

social  philosophy  ; every  doctor  in  the  land  can 
study  it  with  pleasure  and  profit.  I wish  I could 
have  read  such  a work  thirty  years  ago.” — From 
Prof.  John  S.  Lynch , Baltimore , Md. 

‘“The  Physician  Himself’  interested  me  so 
much  that  I actually  read  it  through  at  one  sitting.

medical  men.  I,  for  one,  shall  try  to  profit  by  it.” — 
From  Prof.  William  Goodell,  Philadelphia. 

“ I would  be  glad  if,  in  the  true  interest  of  the 
professi®n  in  ‘Old  England,’  some  able  practitioner 
here  would  prepare  awork  for  us  on  the  same  line  as 
‘ The  Physician  Himself.’  ” — From  Dr.  Jukes  de 
Sty  rap,  Shrewsbury , England. 

“ I am  most  favorably  impressed  with  the 
wisdom  and  force  of  the  points  made  in  ‘ The  Phy-

of  a young  graduate  will  greatly  enhance  his  chances 
for  professional  success.” — From  Prof.  D.  Hayes 
Agncw,  Philadelphia , Pa. 

“ This  book  is  evidently  the  production  of  an 
unspoiled  mind  and  the  fruit  of  a ripe  career.  1 
admire  its  pure  tone  and  feel  the  value  of  its  practi- 
cal points.  How  I wish  I could  have  read  such  a 
guide  at  the  outset  of  my  career!” — From  Prof. 
James  Nevins  Plyde,  Chicago,  III.

expressed.” — From  Prof  . Oliver  Wendell  Holmes ,

is  a' headlight  in  the  splendor  of  whose  beams  a 
I multitude  of  our  profession  shall  find  their  way  to 
success.” — From  Prof.  J.  M.  Bodine,  Dean  Uni- 
i versity  of  Louisville. 

“ It  is  replete  with  good  sense  and  sound  phi-

I its  author  is  a Christian,  a gentleman,  and  a shrewd 
i observer.” — From  Prof . Edward  Warren  (Bey),

our  Janitor  to  keep  a stock  on  hand  in  the  book  de- 
partment of  Bellevue.” — From  Prof.  William  T. 
Lusk , New  York.

the  profession  and  for  the  good  of  the  profession.”  —

Spinal  Concussion: 

Surgically  Considered  as  a Cause  of  Spinal  Injury,  and  Neurologi- 
cally  Restricted  to  a Certain  Symptom  Group,  for 
which  is  Suggested  the  Designation 

ERICHSEN’S  DISEASE,  AS  ONE  FORM  OF  THE  TRAUMATIC  NEUROSES. 

BY 

S.  V.  CLEVENGER,  JVL.D., 

CONSULTING  PHYSICIAN  REESE  AND  ALEXIAN  HOSPITALS;  LATE  PATHOLOGIST  COUNTY  INSANE  ASYLUM, 
CHICAGO;  MEMBER  OF  NUMEROUS  AMERICAN  SCIENTIFIC  AND  MEDICAL  SOCIETIES;  COLLABORATOR 
AMERICAN  NATURALIST,  ALIENIST  AND  NEUROLOGIST,  JOURNAL  OF  NEUROLOGY  AND 
PSYCHIATRY,  JOURNAL  OF  NERVOUS  AND  MENTAL  DISEASES;  AUTHOR  OF  “COM- 
PARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY  AND  PSYCHOLOGY,”  “ARTISTIC  ANATOMY,”  ETC. 


For  more  than  twenty  years  this  subject  has  occasioned  bitter  con- 
tention in  law  courts,  between  physicians  as  well  as  attorneys,  and  in 
that  time  no  work  has  appeared  that  reviewed  the  entire  field  judicially 
until  Dr.  Clevenger’s  book  was  written.  It  is  the  outcome  of  five  years 
special  study  and  experience  in  legal  circles,  clinics,  hospital  and  private 
practice,  in  addition  to  twenty  years’  labor  as  a scientific  student,  writer 
and  teacher. 

The  literature  of  Spinal  Concussion  has  been  increasing  of  late  year- 
to  an  unwieldy  shape  for  the  general  student,  and  Dr.  Clevenger  has  in  thi 
work  arranged  and  reviewed  all  that  has  been  done  by  observers  shu- 
ttle days  of  Eriehsen  and  those  who  preceded  him.  The  different  ami 
sometimes  antagonistic  views  of  many  authors  are  fully  given  from  tli 
writings  of  Eriehsen,  Page,  Oppenheim,  Erb,  Westphal.  Abercrombie 
Sir  Astley  Cooper,  Boyer,  Charcot,  Leyden,  Bigler.  Spitzka.  Putnan 
Knapp,  Dana,  and  many  other  European  and  American  students  of  t h 
subject.  The  small,  but  important,  work  of  Oppenheim.  of  the  Bel  li 
University,  is  fully  translated,  and  constitutes  a chapter  of  Dr.  Clevei 
ger’s  book,  and  reference  is  made  wherever  discussions  occurred  i 
American  medico-legal  societies. 

There  are  abundant  illustrations,  particularly  for  E.lectro-diagnosi. 
and  to  enable  a clear  comprehension  of  the  anatomical  and  pathologic: 
relations. 

The  Chapters  are : 1.  Historical  Introduction ; II.  Eriehsen  o 
Spinal  Concussion  ; III.  Page  on  Injuries  of  the  Spine  and  Spinal  Con 
IV.  Recent  Discussions  of  Spinal  Concussion  : Y.  Oppenheim  on  Trai 
matic  Neuroses;  YI.  Illustrative  Cases  from  Original  and  all  otln 
Sources;  VII.  Traumatic  Insanity;  YIII.  The  Spinal  Column;  I' 

• Symptoms;  X.  Diagnosis;  XI.  Pathology  : XII.  Treatment;  XII 
Medico-legal  Considerations. 

Other  special  features  consist  in  a description  of  modern  methex 
of  diagnosis  by  Electricity,  a discussion  of  the  controversy  concern  in 
hysteria,  and  the  author’s  original  pathological  view  that  the  lesion 
one  involving  the  spinal  sympathetic  nervous  system.  In  this.  latt( 
respect  entirely  new  ground  is  taken,  and  the  diversity  of  opinion  co 
cerning  the  functional  and  organic  nature  of  the  disease  is  afforded 
basis  for  reconciliation. 

Every  Physician  and  Lawyer  should  own  this  work.

For  some  years  past  there  has  been  a growing  demand  for  something  more  satisfac- 
tory and  more  practical  in  the  way  of  literature  on  the  subject  of  what  has,  by  common 
consent,  come  to  be  termed  “ Oxygen  Therapeutics.”  On  all  sides  professional  men  of 
standing  and  ability  are  turning  their  attention  to  the  use  of  the  gaseous  elements  about 
us  as  remedies  in  disease,  as  well  as  sustainers  in  health.  In  prosecuting  their  inquiries, 
t.he  first  hindrance  has  been  the  want  of  any  reliable,  or  in  any  degree  satisfactory, 
literature  on  the  subject. 

Purged  of  the  much  quackery  heretofore  associated  with  it,  Aerotherapy  is  now 
recognized  as  a legitimate  department  of  medical  practice.  Although  little  noise  is  made 
about  it,  the  use  of  Oxygen  Gas  as  a remedy  has  increased  in  this  country  within  a few 
years  to  such  an  extent  that  in  New  York  City  alone  the  consumption  for  medical  [im- 
poses now  amounts  to  more  than  300,000  gallons  per  annum. 

This  work,  translated  in  the  main  from  the  French  of  Professor  Demarquay,  contains 
also  a very  full  account  of  recent  English,  German,  and  American  experiences,  prepared 
by  Dr.  Samuel  S.  Wallian,  of  New  York,  whose  experience  in  this  field  antedates  that  of 
any  other  American  writer  on  the  subject.

This  is  a little  volume  designed  to  convey  information  upon  one  of  the  most  important  subjects  coa- 
nected  with  our  physical  and  spiritual  well-being,  and  is  adapted  to  both  sexes  and  all  ages  and  conditions 
of  society ; in  fact,  so  broad  is  its  scope  that  no  human  being  can  well  afford  to  be  without  it,  and  so  com- 
prehensive in  its  teachings  that,  no  matter  how  well  informed  one  may  be,  something  can  yet  be  learned  from 
this,  and  yet  it  is  so  plain  that  any  one  who  can  read  at  all  can  fully  understand  its  meaning. 

The  Author,  Dr.  H.  N.  Guernsey,  has  had  an  unusually  long  and  extensive  practice,  and  his  teachings  ia 
this  volume  are  the  results  of  his  observation  and  actual  experience  with  all  conditions  of  human  life. 

His  work  is  warmly  indorsed  by  many  leading  men  in  all  branches  of  professional  life,  as  well  as  by 
many  whose  business  connections  have  caused  them  to  be  close  observers.

■NEW  EDITION: 


Lessons  in  Gynecology. 


By  WILLIAM  GOODELL,  A.M.,  M.D.,  Etc., 

Professor  of  Clinical  Gynecology  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

With  112  Illustrations.  Third  Edition,  Tlioronghly  Revised  and  Greatly  Enlarged. 
ONE  VOLUME,  LARGE  OCTAVO,  578  PAGES. 


This  exceedingly  valuable  work,  from  one  of  the  most  eminent  specialists  and  teachers  in  gynecology 
in  the  United  States,  is  now  offered  to  the  profession  in  a much  more  complete  condition  than  either  of  the 
previous  editions.  It  embraces  all  the  more  important  diseases  and  the  principal  operations  in  the  field  of 
gynecology,  and  brings  to  bear  upon  them  all  the  extensive  practical  experience  and  wide  reading  of  the 
author.  It  is  an  indispensable  guide  to  every  practitioner  who  has  to  do  with  the  diseases  peculiar  to 
women.

These  lessons  are  so  well  known  that  it  is  en- 
tirely unnecessary  to  do  more  than  to  call  attention 
to  the  fact  of  the  appearance  of  the  third  edition. 
It  is  too  good  a book  to  have  been  allowed  to  remain 
©ut  of  print,  and  it  has  unquestionably  been  missed. 
The  author  has  revised  the  work  with  special  care, 
adding  to  each  lesson  such  fresh  matter  as  the  prog- 
ress in  the  art  rendered  necessary,  and  he  has  en- 
larged it  by  the  insertion  of  six  new  lessons.  This 
edition  will,  without  question,  be  as  eagerly  sought 
for  as  were  its  predecessors. — American  Journal 
of  Obstetrics. 

The  former  editions  of  this  treatise  were  well 
received  by  the  profession,  and  there  is  no  doubt 
that  the  new  matter  added  to  the  present  issue  makes 
it  more  useful  than  its  predecessors. — New  York 
Medical  Record . 

His  literary  style  is  peculiarly  charming.  There 


is  a directness  and  simplicity  about  it  which  is  easier 
to  admire  than  to  copy.  His  chain  of  plain  words 
and  almost  blunt  expressions,  his  familiar  compari- 
son and  homely  illustrations,  make  his  writings,  like 
his  lectures,  unusually  entertaining.  The  substance 
of  his  teachings  we  regard  as  equally  excellen’  — 
Phi  la.  Medical  and  Surgical  Reporter. 

Extended  mention  of  the  contents  of  the  book  is 
unnecessary;  suffice  it  to  say  that  every  important 
disease  found  in  the  female  sex  is  taken  up  and  dis- 
cussed in  a common-sense  kind  of  a way.  We  wish 
every  physician  in  America  could  read  and  earn 
out  the  suggestions  of  the  chapter  on  the  sexual  re- 
lations as  causes  of  uterine  disorders — conjugal 
onanism  and  kindred  sins/’  The  department  treat- 
ing of  nervous  counterfeits  of  uterine  diseases  is

Post-paid,  in  U.  S.  and  Canada,  &2.00,  net.  Great  Britain,  8s.  6d.  France,  12  fr.  40. 


This  is  a unique  and  valuable  work,  and  useful  to  physicians  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  It  is  just  such 
a volume  as  the  Medical  Profession  have  stood  in  need  of  for  many  years.  We  mention  a few  of  the  merits 
it  possesses:  First.  List  of  all  the  Health  Resorts  of  the  country,  arranged  according  to  their  climate. 
Second.  Contains  just  the  information  needed  by  tourists,  invalids,  and  those  who  visit  summer  or  winter 
resorts.  Third.  The  latest  and  best  large  railroad  map  for  reference.  Fourth.  It  indicated  the  climate 
each  one  should  select  for  health.  Fifth.  The  author  has  traveled  extensively,  and  most  of  his  suggestions 
are  practical  in  reference  to  localities. 


Taken  altogether,  this  is  by  far  the  most  complete  ex- 
position of  the  subject  of  resorts  that  has  yet  been  put 
forth,  and  it  is  one  that  every  physician  must  needs  possess 
intelligent  information  upon.  We  predict  a large  demand 
for  this  useful  and  attractive  book.— Buffalo  Med.  and 
Surg.  Jour. 

The  special  chapter  on  the  therapeutics  of  climate  . . 
is  excellent  for  its  precautionary  suggestions  in  the  selec- 
tion of  climates  and  local  conditions,  with  reference  to 
known  pathological  indications  and  constitutional  predis- 
positions.— The  Sanitarian. 

It  is  arranged  in  such  a manner  that  it  will  be  of  great 
service  to  medical  men  whose  duty  it  often  becomes  to  rec- 
ommend a health  resort. — N.  W.  Med.  Jour. 

A well-arranged  map  of  the  United  States  serves  as  the 
frontispiece  of  the  book  ; and  an  almost  perfect  index  is 
appended,  while  between  the  two  is  an  amount  of  informa- 
tion as  to  places  for  the  health-seeker  that  cannot  be  gotten 
elsewhere.  We  most  cordially  recommend  the  book  to 
travelers  and  to  the  doctor. — Virginia  Med.  Monthly. 

This  is  a work  that  has  long  been  needed,  as  there  is 
scarcely  a physician  who  has  not  had  occasion  to  look  up 
the  authorities  on  climate,  elevation,  dryness,  humidity, 
etc  , etc.,  of  the  various  health  resorts,  and  has  had  great 
difficulty  in  finding  reliable  information.  It  certainly 


ought,  as  it  deserves,  to  receive  a hearty  welcome  from  the 
profession. — Medical  Advance. 

The  book  before  us  is  a very  comprehensive  volume, 
giving  all  neeessaiy  information  concerning  climate,  tem- 
perature. humidity,  sunshine,  and  indeed  everything  neces- 
sary to  be  stated  for  the  benefit  of  the  physician  or  invalid 
seeking  a health  resort  in  the  United  States. — Southern 
Clinic. 

This  work  is  extremely  valuable,  owing  to  the  liberal 
and  accurate  manner  in  which  it  gives  information  regard- 
ing the  various  resorts  on  the  American  continent,  without 
being  prejudiced  in  the  least  in  favor  of  any  particular  one, 
but  giving  all  in  a fair  manner.  . . . All  physicians 
need  just  such  a work,  for  the  doctor  is  always  asked  to 
give  information  on  the  subject  to  his  patients.  Therefore, 
it  should  find  a place  in  every  physician's  library.—  The 
Med.  Brief. 

The  author  of  this  admirable  work  has  long  made  a 
study  of  American  climate,  from  the  stand-point  of  a phy- 
sician. with  a view  to  ascertaining  the  most  suitable  locali- 
ties for  the  residence  of  invalids,  believing  proper  climate 
to  be  an  almost  indispensable  factor  in  the  treatment* pre- 
vention, and  cure  of  many  forms  of  disease.  . . . The 

book  evidences  careful  research  and  furnishes  much  useful 
information  not  to  be  found  elsewhere. — Pacific  Med.  Jjur.

RECORD-BOOK  OF  MEDICAL  EXAMINATIONS 


For  Life  Insurance. 

ZDesig-n-ed.  Toy  JOX3:3>T  3^.  KE-A-TiasTGi-,  IMMD. 


In  examining  for  Life  Insurance,  questions  are  easily  overlooked  and  the  answers  to 
them  omitted  ; and,  as  these  questions  are  indispensable,  they  must  be  answered  before  the 
case  can  be  acted  upon,  and  the  examiner  is  often  put  to  much  inconvenience  to  obtain 
this  information. 

The  need  has  long  been  felt  among  examiners  for  a reference-book  in  which  could  he 
noted  the  principal  points  of  an  examination,  and  thereby  obviate  the  necessity  of  a 
second  visit  to  the  applicant  when  further  information  is  required. 

After'  a careful  study  of  all  the  forms  of  examination  blanks  now  used  by  Insurance 
Companies,  Dr.  J.  M.  Keating  has  compiled  such  a record-book  which  we  are  sure  will  fill 
this  long-felt  want. 

This  record-book  is  small,  neat,  and  complete,  and  embraces  all  the  principal  points 
that  are  required  by  the  different' companies.  It  is  made  in  two  sizes,  viz.  : No.  1.  cover- 
ing one  hundred  (100)  examinations,  and  No.  2,  covering  two  hundred  (200)  examina- 
tions. The  size  of  the  book  is  7 x 3|  inches,  and  can  be  conveniently  carried  in  the 
pocket.

There  are  many  excellent  text-books  on  children’s  diseases,  but  they  have  failed  to  give  a satisfactory 
account  of  the  diseases  of  the  heart  ; and,  indeed,  as  far  as  known,  this  work  of  Keating  and  Edwards'  n >\\ 
presented  to  the  profession  is  the  only  systematic  attempt  that  has  been  made  to  collect  in  book  form  the 
abundant  material  which  is  scattered  throughout  medical  literature  in  the  form  of  journal  art icles,  clinical 
lectures,  theses,  and  reports  of  societies. 

Th‘e  authors  have  endeavored,  in  their  difficult  task,  to  collect  these  valuable  materials  and  place  them 
within  easy  reach  of  those  who  are  interested  in  this  important  subject.  That  they'  have  succeeded  will,  we 
believe,  be  conceded  by  all  who  obtain  and  make  use  of  their  very  valuable  contribution  to  this  hitherto 
neglected  field  of  medical  literature. 

An  appendix,  entitled  “ Clinical  Studies  on  the  Pulse  in  Childhood,”  follows  the  index  in  the  book,  and 
will,  we  are  sure,  be  found  of  much  real  value  to  every  practitioner  of  medicine.  The  work  is  made  available

Dvs.  Keating  and  Edwards  have  produced  a work  that  : 
will  give  material  aid  to  every  doctor  in  his  practice  among  i 
children.  The  style  of  the  book  is  graphic  and  pleasing, 
the  diagnostic  points  are  explicit  and  exact,  and  the  thera- 
peutical resources  include  the  novelties  of  medicine  as  well 
as  the  old  and  tried  agents. — Pittsburgh  Med.  Review. 

A very  attractive  and  valuable  work  has  been  given  to 
the  medical  profession  by  Drs.  Keating  and  Edwards,  in 
their  treatise  on  the  diseases  of  the  heart  and  circulation 
in  infancy  and  adolescence,  and  they  deserve  the  greatest 
credit  for  the  admirable  manner  iu  which  they  have  col-  i 
lected.  reviewed,  and  made  use  of  the  immense  amount  of  1 
material  on  this  important  sub  ject. — Archives  of  Pediatrics.  1 

The  plan  of  the  work  is  the  correct  one,  viz.,  the  sup- 
plementing of  the  observations  of  the  better  class  of  prac- 
titioners by  the  experience  of  those  who  have  given  the 
subject  systematic  attention. — Medical  Age.

As  the  works  upon  diseases  of  children  give  little  or  n 
attention  to  diseases  of  the  heart,  this  work  of  Dr*.  Kent 
ing  and  Edwards  will  supply  a want.  We  think  thji

Bead  the  Following  Description  and  Explanation  of  the  Work : 

In  presenting  the  objects  and  advantages  of  these  Charts  and  “ Perpetual  Clinical  Index  ” it  becomes 
necessary  to  state  that  the  Author’s  many  years’  experience  as  a physician  and  Pharmacist  enables  him 
to  produce,  in  terse  language,  a volume  of  facts  that  must  be  of  inestimable  value  to  the  busy  physician  and 
pharmacist,  or  to  any  student  of  either  profession.  He  has  endeavored  to  describe  all  that  have  borne  inves- 
tigation up  to  date. 

The  system  will  prove  to  be  of  great  value  in  this,  that  so  little  labor  will  be  required  to  add  new 
investigation  as  fast  as  may  be  gathered  from  new  books,  journals,  etc.  The  classification  is  alphabetical 
and  numerical  in  arrangement,  and  serves  so  to  unite  the  various  essentials  of  Botany,  Chemistry,  and 
Materia  Medica,  that  the  very  thought  of  the  one  will  readily  associate  the  principal  properties  and  uses,  as 
well  as  its  origin. 

The  “MATERIA  MEDICA’’  CHART,  in  the  first  place,  aids  at  a glance:  ist,  Botanical  or 

U.  S.  P.  Name;  2d,  The  Common  Name;  3d,  Natural  Order  ; 4th,  Where  Indigenous;  5th,  Principal  Con- 
stituent; 6th,  Part  Used — herbs,  leaves,  flowers,  roots,  barks,  etc.  ; 7th,  Medicinal  Properties — mainly  con- 
sidered; 8th,  The  "Dose — medium  and  large. 

On  this  Chart  there  are  475  first  names ; Section  A.  is  numbered  from  1 to  59,  each  section  commencing 
with  the  capital  letter,  and  having  its  own  numbers  on  both  left-hand  and  right-hand  columns,  to  prevent 
mistakes  in  lining  out,  all  in  quite  large  type.  In  the  centre  of  the  Chart,  occupying  about  6 inches  in 
width,  is  a term  index  of  common  names.  In  the  second  column  of  Chart,  like  this  : 

• Aconite  Leaves, 4 A. 

Then  by  reference  to  4 A in  first  column,  you  there  find  the  Botanical  or  U.  S.  P.  Name.  On  this  Chart  is 
also  found  a brief  definition  of  the  terms  used,  under  the  heading  “ Medicinal  Properties.” 

The  “CHEMISTRY”  CHART  takes  in  regular  order  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  Chemicals,  with 
the  addition  of  many  new  ones,  and  following  the  name,  the  Chemical  Formula,  the  Molecular  Weight,  and

The  “PERPETUAL  CL.INICAL  INDEX”  is  a book  6 by  9 inches,  and  one-half  inch  thick. 
It  contains  135  pages,  divided  as  follows  (opposite  pages  blank)  : 

The  Index  to  Chemistry  Chart  occupies  two  pages;  Explanations,  Abbreviations,  etc.,  forty  pages,  with 
diseases,  and  with  an  average  of  ten  references  to  each  disease,  leaving  room  for  about  forty  more  remedies 
for  each  disease.  The  numbers  refer  to  the  remedies  used  in  the  diseases  by  the  most  celebrated  physicians 
and  surgeons,  and  the  abbreviations  to  the  manner  in  which  they  are  used.  Eight  pages,  numbered  and 
bracketed,  for  other  diseases  not  enumerated.  The  Materia  Medica,  Explanations,  Abbreviations,  and 
Remedies  suggested  for,  occupy  twenty-six  pages.  For  Abbreviated  Prescriptions,  seventeen  blank  pages. 
Then  the  Index  to  Alkaloids  and  Concentrations.  These,  already  enumerated,  with  their  reference,  number 
six  blank  tabulated  pages,  for  noting  any  new  Alkaloids  and  Concentrations.  Then  the  Chemistry  Index, 
giving  the  same  number  as  on  Chart,  with  Name,  Doses,  Specific  Gravity,  Salt  or  Alkaloid  in  the  same 
line,  as  for  example  : 

Name.  j Doses.  i Specific  Gravity.  Salt  or  Alkaloid.  Memoranda. 


This  Memoranda  place  is  for  Physicians’  or  Pharmacists’  reference  notes ; and  with  the  addition  of 
several  tabulated  blank  pages,  in  which  to  add  any  new  chemical,  with  doses,  etc.  The  remaining  sixteen 
pages  for  Materia  Medica  Index,  leaving  blanks  following  each  other  for  new  names  and  reference  numbers. 

To  show  the  ready  and  permanent  use  of  the  “Perpetual  Clinical  Index”  of  the  “Chemistry”  and 
“Pharmacy”  Charts  or  Index  in  the  book,  suppose  the  Phjrsician  reads  in  a book  or  journal  that  Caffeine 
Citras  is  useful  in  the  disease  Chorea,  and  he  wishes  to  keep  a permanent  record  of  that,  he  refers  to  the 
Chart,  and  if  it  does  not  already  appear  there,  it  can  be  placed  opposite  and  numbered,  and  thereafter  used 
for  reference.  But  we  find  its  permanent  number  is  No.  99,  so  he  will  write  down  in  the  line  left  blank  for 
future  use  in  his  book,  in  line  already  used,  running  parallel  with  other  reference  numbers  in  Chorea,  the 
No.  99,  and  immediately  under  he  can  use  the  abbreviation  in  the  manner  in  which  it  is  given.  Though 
years  may  have  passed,  he  can  in  a moment,  by  referring  there,  see  that  No.  99  is  good  for  Chorea.  If  fail- 
ing to  remember  what  No.  99  is,  he  glances  at  the  Chart  or  Index.  He  sees  that  No.  99  is  Caffeine  Citras, 
and  he  there  learns  its  origin  and  dose  and  solubility,  and  in  a moment  an  intelligent  prescription  can  be 
constructed.

of  the  diseases  of  women. — The  American  Lancet. 

To  say  that  the  author  is  rather  conservative  in  his 
ideas  of  the  curative  powers  of  electricity  is  only  another 
way  of  saying  that  he  understands  his  subject  thoroughly.

Mears’  Practical  Surgery  includes  chapters  on  Surgical  Dress- 
ings, Bandaging,  Fractures.  Dislocations,  Ligature  of  Arteries,  Amputa- 
tions, Excisions  of  Bones  and  Joints.  This 
work  gives  a complete  account  of  the 
methods  of  antiseptic  surgery.  The  dif- 
ferent agents  used  in  antiseptic  dressing, 
their  methods  of  preparation,  and  their 
application  in  the  treatment  of  wounds  are 
full}'  described.  With  this  work  as  a guide 
it  is  possible  for  every  surgeon  to  practice 
antiseptic  surgery.  The  great  advances 
made  in  the  science  and  art  of  surgery  are 
largely  due  to  the  introduction  of  anti- 
septic methods  of  wound  treatment,  and  it 
is  incumbent  upon  every  progressive  sur- 
geon to  employ  them. 

An  examination  of  this  work  will 
show  that  it  is  thoroughly  systematic  in 
its  plan,  so  that  it  is  not  only  useful  to  the  practitioner,  who  may  be 
called  upon  to  perform  operations,  but  of  great  value  to  the  student  in 
his  work  in  the  surgical  room , where  he  is  required  to  apply  bandages 
and  fracture  dressings,  and  to  perform  operations  upon  the  cadaver.  The 
experience  of  the  author,  derived  from  many  years’  service  as  a teacher 
(private  and  public)  and  practitioner,  has  enabled  him  to  present  the 
topics  discussed  in  such  a manner  as  to  fully  meet  the  needs  of  both  prac- 
titioners and  students. 


It  is  full  of  common  sense,  and  may  be  safely 
taken  as  a guide  in  the  matters  of  which  it  treats. 
It  would  be  hard  to  point  out  all  the  excellences  of 
this  book.  We  can  heartily  recommend  it  to  students 
and  to  practitioners  of  surgery. — American  Jour- 
nal of  the  Medical  Sciences.

be  of  greater  value  to  the  student  in  connection  with 
his  lectures  in  this  department. — Buffalo  Medical

The  work  is  excellent.  The  student  or  practi- 


tioner who  follows  it  intelligently  cannot  easily  go 
astray. — Journal  American  Medical  Asso’n. 

We  cannot  speak  too  highly  of  the  volume  under 
review. — Canada  Med.  and  Surg.  Jour. 

The  space  devoted  to  fractures  and  dislocations 
— by  far  the  most  difficult  and  responsible  part  of

AN  ENTIRELY  NEW  PHYSICIAN’S  VISITING  LIST. 


THE 


Medical  Bulletin  V isiting  List 

— or — 

Physician's  Call  Becord. 


ARRANGED  UPON  AN  ORIGINAL  AND  CONVENIENT  MONTHLY  AND  WEEKLY  PLAN 
FOR  THE  DAILY  RECORDING  OF  PROFESSIONAL  VISITS. 


Frequent  Rewriting  of  Names  Unnecessary. 

This  Visiting  List  is  arranged  upon  a plan  best  adapted  to  the  mosi 
convenient  use  of  all  physicians,  and  embraces  a new  feature  in  recording 
daily  visits  not  found  in  any  other  list,  consisting  of  stub  or  half  leave.- 
in  the  form  of  inserts,  a glance  at  which  will  suffice  to  show  that  as  tin 
first  week’s  record  of  visits  is  completed  the  next  week’s  record  may  bt 
made  by  simply  turning  over  the  stub-leaf,  without  the  necessity  of  re 
writing  the  patients’  names.  This  is  done  until  the  month  is  completed, 
and  the  physician  has  kept  his  record  just  as  complete  in  every  detail  of 
visit,  charge,  credit,  etc.,  as  he  could  have  done  had  he  used  any  of  the 
old-style  visiting  lists,  and  has  also  saved  himself  three-fourths  of  the 
time  and  labor  formerly  required  in  transferring  names  evert  week. 
There  are  no  intricate  rulings  ; everything  is  easily  and  quickly  under- 
stood ; not  the  least  amount  of  time  can  be  lost  in  comprehending  the 
plan,  for  it  is  acquired  at  a glance. 

The  Three  Different  Styles  Made. 

• 

The  No.  1 Style  of  this  List  provides  ample  space  for  the  daily 
record  of  seventy  (70)  different  names  each  month  for  an  entire  year 
(two  full  pages,  thirty-five  [35]  names  to  a page,  being  allowed  to  each 
month),  so  that  its  size  is  sufficient  for  an  ordinary  practice ; but  for 
physicians  who  prefer  a List  that  will  accommodate  a larger  practice  we 
have  made  a No.  2 Style,  which  provides  ample  space  for  the  daily 
record  of  one  hundred  and  five  different  names  (105)  each  month  for 
an  entire  year  (three  full  pages  being  allowed  to  each  month),  and  for 
physicians  who  may  prefer  a Pocket  Record  Book  of  less  thickness  than 
either  of  these  styles  we  have  made  a No.  3 Style,  in  which  “ The 
Blanks  for  the  Recording  of  Visits  In  ” have  been  made  into  removable 
sections.  These  sections  are  very  thin,  and  are  made  up  so  as  to  answer 
in  full  the  demand  of  the  largest  practice,  each  section  providing  ample 
space  for  the  daily  record  of  two  hundred  and  ten  (210)  different 
names  for  one  month;  or  one  hundred  and  five  (105)  different  names 
daily  each  month  for  two  months  ; or  sevent}’  (70)  different  names  daily 
each  month  for  three  months  ; or  thirty-five  (35)  different  names  daily 
each  month  for  six  months.  Four  sets  of  these  sections  go  with  each 
copy  of  No.  3 Style. 

Special  Features  Not  Found  in  Any  Other  List. 

In  this  No.  3 Style  the  printed  matter,  and  such  matter  as  the 
blank  forms  for  Addresses  of  Patients,  Obstetric  Record,  Vaccination 
Record,  Cash  Account,  Births  and  Deaths  Records,  etc.,  are  fastened 
permanently  in  the  back  of  the  book,  thus  reducing  its  thickness.  The 
addition  of  one  of  these  removable  sections  does  not  increase  the  size 
quite  an  eighth  of  an  inch.  This  brings  the  book  into  such  a small  com- 
pass that  no  one  can  object  to  it  on  account  of  its  thickness,  as  its  bulk 
14 


is  very  much  less  than  that  of  any  visiting  list  ever  published.  Every 
physician  will  at  once  understand  that  as  soon  as  a section  is  full  it  can 
l>e  taken  out,  filed  awajr,  and  another  inserted  without  the  least  incon- 
venience or  trouble. 

This  Visiting  List  contains  a Calendar  for  the  last  six  months 
of  last  year,  all  of  this,  and  next  year;  Table  of  Signs  to  be  used 
in  Keeping  Accounts;  Dr.  Ely’s  Obstetrical  Table;  Table  of  Cal- 
onlating  the  Number  of  Doses  in  a given  R,  etc.,  etc. ; for  converting 
Apothecaries’  Weights  and  Measures  into  Grammes  ; Metrical  Avoirdu- 
pois and  Apothecaries’ Weights ; Number  of  Drops  in  a Fluidrachm  ; 
Graduated  Doses  for  Children  ; Graduated  Table  for  Administering 
Laudanum  ; Periods  of  Eruption  of  the  Teeth  ; The  Average  Frequency 
of  the  Pulse  at  Different  Ages  in  Health;  Formula  and  Doses  of  Hypo- 
dermic Medication;  Use  of  the  Hypodermic  Syringe;  Formulae  and 
Doses  of  Medicine  for  Inhalation ; Formulae  for  Suppositories  for  the 
Rectum;  The  Use  of  the  Thermometer  in  Disease;  Poisons  and  their 
Antidotes;  Treatment  of  Asphyxia;  Anti-Emetic  Remedies;  Nasal 
Douches;  Eye-Washes. 

Most  Convenient  Time-  and  Labor-  Saving  List  Issued. 

It  is  evident  to  every  one  that  this  is,  beyond  question,  the  best  and 
most  convenient  time-  and  labor-  saving  Physicians’  Record  Book  ever 
published.  Physicians  of  many  years’  standing  and  with  large  practices 
pronounce  this  the  Best  List  they  have  ever  seen.  It  is  handsomely 
bound  in  fine,  strong  leather,  with  flap,  including  a pocket  for  loose 
memoranda,  etc.,  and  is  furnished  with  a Dixon  lead-pencil  of  excellent 
-quality  and  finish.  It  is  compact  and  convenient  for  carrying  in  the 
pocket.  Size,  4 x inches.

EXTRACTS  FROM  REVIEWS.* 


< ‘ While  each  page  records  only  a week’s  visits, 
yet  by  an  ingenious  device  of  half  leaves  the  names 
-of  the  patients  require  to  be  written  but  once  a 
month,  and  a glance  at  an  opening  of  the  book 
-.shows  the  entire  visits  paid  to  any  individual  in  a 
jnonth.  It  will  be  found  a great  convenience.” — 
Boston  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal. 

“Everything  about  it  is  easily  and  quickly 
understood.” — Canadian  Praciitioner. 

“Of  the  many  visiting  lists  before  the  profes- 
sion, each  has  some  special  feature  to  recommend 
it.  'I'his  list  is  very  ingeniously  arranged,  as  by  a 
series  of  narrow  leaves  following  a wider  one,  the 
.name  of  the  patient  is  written  but  once  during  the 
month,  while  the  account  can  run  for  thirty-one 
•days,  space  being  arranged  for  a weekly  debit 
.and  credit  summary  and  for  special  memoranda. 
The  usual  pages  for  cash  account,  obstetrical 
record,  addresses,  etc.,  are  included.  A large 
amount  of  miscellaneous  information  is  presented 
in  a condensed  form.”  — Occidental  Medical 
Tunes. 

“It  is  a monthly  instead  of  a weekly  record, 
thus  obviating  the  transferring  of  names  oftener 
than  once  a month.  There  is  a Dr.  and  Cr.  column 
following  each  week’s  record,  enabling  the  doctor 
to  carry  a patient’s  account  for  an  indefinite  time, 

• or  until  he  is  discharged,  with  little  trouble.” — 
Jndiana  Medical  Journal. 


“Accounts  can  begin  and  end  at  any  date. 
Each  name  can  be  entered  for  each  day  of  every 
month  on  the  same  line.  To  accomplish  this,  four 
leaves,  little  more  than  one-third  as  wide  as  the 
usual  leaf  of  the  book,  follow  each  page.  Oppo- 
site is  a full  page  for  the  recording  of  special 
memoranda.  The  usual  accompaniments  of  this 
class  of  books  are  made  out  with  care  and  fitness.” 
— The  American  Lancet. 

“This  is  a novel  list,  and  an  unusually  con- 
venient one.” — Journal  of  the  Amer. Med.  Assoc. 

‘‘This  new  candidate  for  the  favor  of  physi- 
cians possesses  some  unique  and  useful  points. 
The  necessity  of  rewriting  names  every  week  is 
obviated  by  a simple  contrivance  in  the  make-up 
of  its  pages,  thus  saving  much  valuable  time, 
besides  reducing  the  bulk  of  the  book.” — Buffalo 
Medical  and  Surgicad  Journal. 

“This  list  is  an  entirely  new  departure,  and 
on  a plan  that  renders  posting  rapid  and  easy.  It 
is  just  what  we  have  often  wished  for,  and  really

In  our  medical  colleges  the  teachers  of  Obstetrics  dwell  upon  the  use  of  blood-letting  (phlebot 
cases  of  puerperal  convulsions,  and  to  this  method  Dr.  Michener  and  his  fellows  give  their  unt  i •

is  plainly  and  admirably  set  forth  in  his  book.  To  bleed  requires  a cutting  instrument, — not  neces 
lancet, — for  Dr.  M.  states  how  in  one  case  a pocket-knife  was  used  and  the  desired  effect  produced. 

Let  the  young  physician  gather  courage  from  this  little  book,  and  let  the  more  experienced  gv

We  have  always  thought  that  this  treatment  was  |

commend  this  little  volume. — Southern  Clinic.

BEING  A LEDGER  AND  ACCOUNT-BOOK  FOR  PHYSICIANS’  USE,  MEETING  ALL 
THE  REQUIREMENTS  OF  THE  LAW  AND  COURTS. 

DESIGNED  BY 

■WILLIAM  -A..  SEIBEET, 

Of  IEXa.storx,  IF1  a.. 


3 rob  ably  no  class  of  people  lose  more  money  through  carelessly  kept 
A accounts  and  overlooked  or  neglected  bills  than  phj^sicians.  Often 
detained  at  the  bedside  of  the  sick  until  late  at  night,  or  deprived  of 
even  a modicum  of  rest,  it  is  with  great  difficulty  that  he  spares  the 
ime  or  puts  himself  in  condition  to  give  the  same  care  to  his  own 
iinancial  interests  that  a merchant,  a lawyer,  or  even  a farmer  devotes. 
It  is  then  plainly  apparent  that  a system  of  bookkeeping  and  accounts 
chat,  without  sacrificing  accuracy,  but,  on  the  other  hand,  ensuring  it,  at 
he  same  time  relieves  the  keeping  of  a physician’s  book  of  half  their 
omplexity  and  two-thirds  the  labor,  is  a convenience  which  will  be 
agerly  welcomed  by  thousands  of  overworked  physicians.  Such  a sys- 
tem has  at  last  been  devised,  and  we  take  pleasure  in  offering  it  to  the 
rofession  in  the  form  of  The  Physician’s  All-Requisite  Time-  and 
jabor-  Saving  Account-Book. 

There  is  no  exaggeration  in  stating  that  this  Account-Book  and 
Ledger  reduces  the  labor  of  keeping  your  accounts  more  than  one-half, 
nnd  at  the  same  time  secures  the  greatest  degree  of  accuracy.  We  may 
mention  a few  of  the  superior  advantages  of  The  Physician’s  All- 
Requisite  Time-  and  Labor-  Saving  Account-Book,  as  follow: — 


First — Will  meet  all  the  requirements  of 
the  law  and  courts. 

Second — Self-explanatory  ; no  cipher  code. 

Third — Its  completeness  without  sacrificing 
anything. 

Fourth — No  posting;  one  entry  only. 

Fifth — Universal ; can  be  commenced  at  any 
time  of  year,  and  can  be  continued  in- 
definitely until  every  account  is  filled. 

Sixth — Absolutely  no  waste  of  space. 
eventh- — One  person  must  needs  be  sick 
every  day  of  the  year  to  fill  his  account, 
or  might  be  ten  years  about  it  and  re- 
quire no  more  than  the  space  for  one 
account  in  this  ledger. 
ighth — Double  the  number  and  many  times 
more  than  the  number  of  accounts  in 


any  similar  book;  the  300-page  book 
contains  space  for  900  accounts,  and  the 
600-page  book  contains  space  for  1800 
accounts. 

Ninth — There  are  no  smaller  spaces. 

Tenth — Compact  without  sacrificing  com- 
pleteness ; every  account  complete  on 
same  page — a decided  advantage  and 
recommendation. 

Eleventh — Uniform  size  of  leaves. 

Twelfth — The  statement  of  the  most  com- 
plicated account  is  at  once  before  you 
at  any  time  of  month  or  year — in  other 
words,  the  account  itself  as  it  stands  is 
its  simplest  statement. 

Thirteenth — No  transferring  of  accounts, 
balances,  etc. 


To  all  physicians  desiring  a quick,  accurate,  and  comprehensive 
iethod  of  keeping  their  accounts,  we  can  safety  say  that  no  book  as 
litable  as  this  one  has  ever  been  devised.

PHYSICIANS’  INTERPRETER 


IN  FOUR  LANGUAGES. 

(ENGLISH,  FRENCH,  GERMAN,  AND  ITALIAN.) 


Specially  Arranged  for  Diagnosis  by  M.  von  Y. 


The  object  of  this  little  work  is  to  meet  a need  often  keenly  felt  by 
the  busy  physician,  namely,  the  need  of  some  quick  and  reliable  method 
of  communicating  intelligibly  with  patients  of  those  nationalities  and 
languages  unfamiliar  to  the  practitioner.  The  plan  of  the  book  is  a sys- 
tematic arrangement  of  questions  upon  the  various  branches  of  Practical 
Medicine,  and  each  question  is  so  worded  that  the  only  answer  required 
of  the  patient  is  merely  Yes  or  No.  The  questions  are  all  numbered, 
and  a complete  Index  renders  them  always  available  for  quick  reference. 
The  book  is  written  by  one  who  is  well  versed  in  English,  French,  Ger- 
man, and  Italian,  being  an  excellent  teacher  in  all  those  languages,  and 
who  has  also  had  considerable  hbspital  experience. 

Bound  in  Full  Russia  Leather,  for  Carrying-  in  the  Pocket.  (Size,  5 x 2J 
Inches.)  206  Pages.  Price,  post-paid,  in  United  States  and 
Canada,  $1.00,  net;  Great  Britain,  4s.  6d. ; France,  6 fr.  20. 


To  convey  some  idea  of  the  scope  of  the  questions  contained  in  the 
Physicians’  Interpreter,  we  append  the  Index : —

The  work  is  well  done,  and  calculated  to  be  of  great 
service  to  those  who  wish  to  acquire  familiarity  with  the 
phrases  used  in  questioning  patients.  More  than  this,  we 
believe  it  would  be  a great  help  in  acquiring  a vocabulary 
to  be  used  in  reading  medical  books,  and  that  it  would  fur- 
nish an  excellent  basis  for  beginning  a study  of  any  one  of 
the  languages  which  it  includes. — Medical  and  Surgical 
Reporter. 

Many  other  books  of  the  same  sort,  with  more  ex- 
tensive vocabularies,  have  been  published,  but,  from  their 
size,  and  from  their  being  usually  devoted  to  equivalents 
in  English  and  one  other  language  only,  they  have  not  had 
the  advantage  which  is  pre-eminent  in  this — convenience. 
It  is  handsomely  printed,  and  bound  in  flexible  red  leather 
in  the  form  of  a diary.  It  would  scarcely  make  itself  felt 
in  one’s  hip-pocket,  and  would  insure  its  bearer  against  any 
ordinary  conversational  difficulty  in  dealing  with  foreign- 
speaking people,  who  are  constantly  coming  into  our  city 
hospitals. — New  York  Medical  Journal. 

In  our  larger  cities,  and  in  the  whol^  Northwest,  the 
physician  is  constantly  meeting  with  immigrant  patients, 
to  whom  it  is  difficult  for  him  to  make  himself  understood, 
4>r  to  know  what  they  say  in  return.  This  difficulty  will 


be  greatly  obviated  by  use  of  this  little  work.—  The  Phy- 
sician and  Surgeon. 

The  phrases  are  well  selected,  and  one  might  practice 
long  without  requiring  more  of  these  languages  than  this 
little  book  furnishes. — Phila.  Medical  Timrs. 

How  ofUu  the  physician  is  called  to  attend  those  with 
whom  the  English  language  is  unfamiliar,  and  many  phy- 
sicians are  thus  deprived  of  the  means,  save  through  an 
interpreter,  of  arriving  at  a correct  knowledge  on  which  to 
base  a diagnosis.  An  interpreter  is  not  always  at  hand, 
but  with  this  pocket  interpreter  in  your  hand  you  are  able 
to  ask  all  the  questions  necessary,  and  receive  the  answer 
in  such  manner  that  you  will  be’  able  to  fully  comprehend. 
— The  Medical  Brie/. 

This  little  volume  is  one  of  the  most  ingenious  aids 
to  the  physician  which  we  have  seen.  We  heartily  com- 
mend the  book  to  any  one  who,  being  without  a knowledge 
of  the  foreign  languages,  is  obliged  to  treat  those  who  do 
not  know  our  own  language. — St.  Louis  Courier  0/  Medi- 
cine. 

It  will  rapidly  supersede,  for  the  practical  use  of  the 
doctor  who  cannot  take  the  time  to  learn  another  language, 
all  other  suggestive  works. — Chicago  Medical  Times.

“ THE  NERVO-VASCULAR  SYSTEM  OP  CHARTS " far.  Excels  Every  Other  System 
in  their  Completeness,  Compactness,  and'  Accuracy. 


Part  I.  The  Nerves. — Gives  in  a clear  form  not  only  the  Cranial 
and  Spinal  Nerves,  showing  the  formation  of  the  different  Plexuses 
and  their  branches,  but  also  the  complete  distribution  of  the 
te oipathetic  Nerves,  thereby  making  it  the  most  complete  and 
concise  chart  of  the  Nervous  System  yet  published. 

Part  II.  The  Arteries. — Gives  a unique  grouping  of  the  Arterial 
System,  showing  the  divisions  and  subdivisions  of  all  the  vessels, 
beginning  from  the  heart  and  tracing  their  continuous  distribution 
to  the  periphery,  and  showing  at  a glance  the  terminal  branches 
of  each  artery. 

Part  III.  The  Veins. — Shows  how  the  blood  from  the  periphery 
of  the  body  is  gradually  collected  by  the  larger  veins,  and  these 
coalescing  forming  still  larger  vessels,  until  they  finally  trace 
themselves  into  the  Right  Auricle  of  the  heart. 

It  is  therefore  readily  seen  that  “The  Nervo- Vascular  System  of 
Charts”  offers  the  following  superior  advantages: — 

1.  It  is  the  only  arrangement  which  combines  the  Three  Systems, 
and  yet  each  is  perfect  and  distinct  in  itself. 

2.  It  is  the  only  instance  of  the  Cranial,  Spinal,  and  Sympathetic 
Nervous  Systems  being  represented  on  one  chart. 

3.  From  its  neat  size  and  clear  type,  and  being  printed  only  upon 
one  side,  it  maj'  be  tacked  up  in  any  convenient  place,  and  is  always 
ready  for  freshening  up  the  memory  and  reviewing  for  examination. 

4.  The  nominal  price  for  which  these  charts  are  sold  places  them 
within  the  reach  of  all. 


For  the  student  of  anatomy  there  can  possibly  be  no 
more  concise  way  of  acquiring  a knowledge  of  the  nerves, 
veins,  and  arteries  of  the  human  system.  It  presents  at  a 
glance  their  trunks  and  branches  in  the  great  divisions  of 
the  body.  It  will  save  a world  of  tedious  reading,  and  will 
impress  itself  on  the  mind  as  no  ordinary'  vade  mecum, 
even,  could.  Its  price  is  nominal  and  its  value  inestima- 
ble. No  student  should  be  without  it. — Pacific  Record  of 
Medicine  and  Surgery. 

We  tnke  pleasure  in  calling  attention  to  these  charts, 
as  they  are  so  arranged  that  a study  of  them  will  serve  to 
impress  them  more  indellibly  on  your  mind  than  can  be 
gained  in  any  other  way.  They  are  also  valuable  for 
reference. — Medical  Brief. 

These  are  three  admirably  arranged  charts  for  the 
use  of  students,  to  assist  in  memorizing  their  anatomical  | 
studies. — Buffalo  Med.  and  Surg.  Jour. 

This  is  a series  of  charts  of  the  nerves,  arteries,  and  ' 


veins  of  the  human  body,  giving  names,  origins,  distribu- 
tions, and  functions,  very  convenient  as  memorizers  and 
reminders.  A similar  series,  prepared  by  the  late  J . H. 
Armsby,-  of  Albany,  N.Y.,  and  framed,  long  found  a place 
in  the  study  of  the'  writer,  and  on  more  than  one  occasion 
was  the  means  of  saving  precious  moments  that  must 
otherwise  have  been  devoted  to  tumbling  the  pages  of  ana- 
tomical works.— Med.  Age. 

These  three  charts  will  be  of  great  assistance  to 
medical  students.  They  can  be  hung  on  the  wall  and  read 
across  any  ordinary  room.  The  price  is  only  fifty  cents  for 
the  set.—' Practice. 

These  charts  have  been  carefully  arranged,  and  will 
prove  to  be  very  convenient  for  ready  reference.  They 

are  three  in  number,  each  constituting  a part 

It  is  a high  recommendation  that  these  charts  have  been 
examined  and  approved  by  John  B.  Deaver,  M*D.,  Demon- 
strator of  Anatomy  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.—

This  great  work  upon  a subject  which,  notwithstanding  the  great  strides  that  have 
been  made  in  its  investigation  and  the  deep  interest  it  possesses  for  all.  is  neverthel  ?? 
still  but  imperfectly  understood,  has  been  translated  in  a most  perfect  manner,  and  pre- 
serves most  fully  the  inherent  excellence  and  fascinating  style  of  its  renowned  and 
lamented  author.  Full  and  complete,  yet  terse  and  concise,  it  handles  the  subject  with 
such  a vigor  of  touch,  such  a clearness  of  detail  and  description,  and  such  a directness  to 
the  result,  that  no  medical  man  who  once  takes  it  up  will  be  content  to  lay  it  down  until 
its  perusal  is  complete, — nor  will  one  reading  be  enough. 

Professor  Ultzmann  was  recognized  as  one  of  the  greatest  authorities  in  his  chosen 
specialty,  and  it  is  a little  singular  that  so  few  of  his  writings  have  been  translated  into 
English.  Those  who  have  been  so  fortunate  as  to  benefit  by  Iris  instruction  at  the  Vienna 
Polyclinic  can  testify  to  the  soundness  of  his  pathological  teachings  and  the  success  of  his 
methods  of  treatment.  He  approached  the  subject  from  a somewhat  different  point  of 
view  from  most  surgeons,  and  this  gilves  a peculiar  value  to  the  work.  It  is  believed, 
moreover,  that  there  is  no  convenient  hand-book  in  English  treating  in  a broad  manner 
the  Genito-urinary  Neuroses.

The  object  of  this  little  work  is  to  place  in  the  hands  of  the  general 
practitioner  the  means  to  treat  successfully  a disease  which,  until  lately, 
was  considered  as  incurable ; its  history,  causes,  pathology,  and  treat- 
ment are  carefully  described,  and  the  latter  is  so  arranged  as  to  be 
practicable  by  any  physician. 

Dr.  Sajoijs’  volume  must  command  the  attention  of 
those  called  upon  to  treat  this  heretofore  intractable  com- 
plaint.— Medical  and  Surgical  Reporter. 

Few  have  had  the  success  in  this  disease  which  has 
so  much  baffled  the  average  practitioner  as  Dr.  Sajous,  con- 
sequently his  statements  are  almost  authoritative.  The 
book  must  be  read  to  be  appreciated. — American  Medical 
Digest. 

Dr.  Sajous  has  admirably  presented  the  subject,  and, 
as  this  method  of  treatment  is  now  generally  recognized 
as  efficient,  we  can  recommend  this  book  to  all  physicians 


wno  are  cauea  upon  to  treat  tms  trouoiesome  disorder. —

this  work  if  he  has  cases  of  the  kind  to  treat. — California

We  are  pleased  with  the  author's  views,  and  heartily 
commend  his  book  to  the  consideration  of  the  profession.

OBSTETRIC  SYNOPSIS. 

By  JOHN  S.  STEWART,  M.D., 

Demonstrator  of  Obstetrics  and  Chief  Assistant  in  the  Gynaecological  Clinic  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical 

College  of  Philadelphia. 

WITH  AN  INTRODUCTORY  NOTE  BY 

WILLIAM  S.  STEWART,  A.M.,  M.D., 

Professor  of  Obstetrics  and  Gynaecology  in  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  of  Philadelphia. 

42  ILLUSTRATIONS.  202  PAGES.  12mo.  HANDSOMELY  BOUND  IN  DARK-BLUE  CLOTH. 

Price,  Post-paid,  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  Net,  $1.00 ; 
Great  Britain,  4s.  3d. ; France,  6 fr.  20. 


By  students  this  work  will  be  found  particularly  useful.  It  is  based 
upon  the  teachings  of  such  well-known  authors  as  Playfair,  Parvin, 
Lush,  Galabin,  and  Cazeaux  and  Tarnier,  and,  besides  containing  much 
new  and  important  matter  of  great  value  to  both  student  and  practi- 
tioner, embraces  in  an  Appendix  .the  Obstetrical  Nomenclature  sug- 
gested by  Professor  Simpson,  of  Edinburgh,  and  adopted  by  the 
Obstetric  Section  of  the  Ninth  International  Medical  Congress  held  in 
Washington,  D.C.,  September,  1887. 


It  is  well  written,  excellently  illustrated,  and  fully  up 
to  date  in  every  respect.  Here  we  find  all  the  essentials  of 
Obstetrics  in  a nutshell,  Anatomy,  Embryology,  Physi- 
ology, Pregnancy,  Labor,  Puerperal  State,  and  Obstetric 
Operations  all  being  carefully  and  accurately  described. — 
Buffalo  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal. 

It  is  clear  and  concise.  The  chapter  on  the  develop- 
ment of  the  ovum  is  especially  satisfactory.  The  judicious 


use  of  bold-faced  type  for  headings,  and  italics  for  impor- 
tant statements,  gives  the  book  a pleasing  typographical 
appearance. — Medical  Record. 

This  volume  is  done  with  a masterly  hand.  The 
scheme  is  an  excellent  one.  . . . The  whole  is  freely 
and  most  admirably  illustrated  with  well-drawn,  new 
engravings,  and  the  book  is  of  a very  convenient  size.

The  above  work,  recently  issued,  is  a translation  from  the  French  of  Sanjtes  great 
work  on  “ Diphtheria, ” by  H.  Z.  Gill,  late  Professor  of  Surgery  in  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Sanite's  work  is  quoted,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  every  writer  since  its  publication, 
as  the  highest  authority,  statistically,  theoretically,  and  practically.  The  translator, 
having  given  special  study  to  the  subject  for  many  years,  has  added  over  fifty  pages,  in- 
cluding the  Surgical  Anatomy,  Intubation,  and  the  recent  progress  in  the  branches 
treated  down  to  the  present  date;  making  it,  beyond  question,  the  most  complete  work 
extant  on  the  subject  of  Diphtheria  in  the  English  language. 

Facing  the  title-page  is  found  a very  fine  Colored  Lithograph  Plate  of  the  parts  con- 
cerned in  Tracheotomy.  Next  follows  an  illustration  of  a cast  of  the  entire  Trachea,  and 
bronchi  to  the  third  or  fourth  division,  in  one  piece,  taken  from  a photograph  of  a case 
in  which  the  cast  was  expelled  during  life  from  a patient  sixteen  years  old.  This  is  the 
most  complete  cast  of  any  one  recorded. 

Over  fifty  other  illustrations  of  the  surgical  anatomy  of  instruments,  etc.,  add  to  the 
practical  value  of  the  work. 

Diphtheria  having  become  such  a prevalent,  wide-spread,  and  fatal  disease,  no 
general  practitioner  can  afford  to  be  without  this  work.  It  will  aid  in  preventive  meas- 
ures, stimulate  promptness  in  the  application  of,  and  efficiency  in,  treatment,  and 
moderate  the  extravagant  views  which  have  been  entertained  regarding  certain  specifies 
in  the  disease  Diphtheria. 

A full  Index  accompanies  the  enlarged  volume,  also  a List  of  Authors,-  making 
altogether  a very  handsome  illustrated  volume  of  over  680  pages. 


Ln  this  book  we  have  a complete  review  and 
compendium  of  all  worth  preserving  that  has  hitherto 
been  said  or  written  concerning  diphtheria  and  the 
kindred  subjects  treated  of  by  our  author,  collated, 
arranged,  and  commented  on  by  both  author  arid 
translator.  The  subject  of  intubation,  so  recently 
revived  in  this  country,  receives  a very  careful  and 
impartial  discussion  at  the  hands  of  the  translator, 
and  a most  valuable  chapter  on  the  prophylaxis  of 
diphtheria  and  croup  closes  the  volume. 

His  notes  are  frequent  and  full,  displaying  deep 
knowledge  of  the  subject-matter.  Altogether  the 
book  is  one  that  is  valuable  and  timely,  and  one 
that  should  be  in  the  hands  of  every  general  practi- 
tioner.— St.  Louis  Med.  and  Surgical  Journal.

THE  Publisher  takes  pleasure  in  announcing  that  Volume  I of  this  eagerly-looked-for 
work  is  Now  Ready,  and  that  the  utmost  diligence  will  be  exercised  in  filling  with 
the  greatest  rapidity,  and  in  regular  order  of  receipt,  the  numerous  orders  now  awaiting 
its  publication. 

The  general  plan  of  the  work  embraces  three  parts,  each  of  which  is  practically  inde- 
pendent of  the  other,  as  will  be  understood  from  the  accompanying  analysis,  and  of  which 
Parts  I and  II  are  contained  in  the  volume  now  announced  ; this,  however,  is  not  the  only 
advantage  accruing  from  the  preparation  of  the  work  in  two  volumes.  Each  volume  will 
thus  be  much  smaller  and  more  convenient  to  handle,  while  some  may  wish  to  secure  a 
particular  portion  of  the  work,  and  to  them  the  cost  is  lessened. 

Several  blank  sheets  of  closely -ruled  letter-paper  are  inserted  at  convenient  places  in 
the  work,  thus  rendering  it  available  for  the  student  and  physician  to  add  valuable  notes 
concerning  new  remedies  and  other  important  matters. 

Pakt  I embraces  three  subdivisions,  as  follow  : — 

First.  A brief  synopsis  upon  the  subject  of  pharmacy,  in  which  is  given  a clear  and 
concise  description  of  the  operations  and  preparations  taken  into  account  by  the  physician 
when  prescribing  medicines,  together  with  some  practical  suggestions  regarding  the  most 
desirable  methods  for  securing  efficiency  and  palatability. 

Second.  A Classification  of  Medicines  is  presented  under  the  head  of  “ General  Phar- 
macology and  Therapeutics,”  with  a view  to  indicate  more  especially  the  methods  by 
which  the  economy  is  affected.  Thus,  there  are  Internal  and  External  Remedies,  and. 
besides,  a class  termed  Chemical  Agents,  including  Antidotes,  Disinfectants,  and  Anti- 
septics, and  an  explanatory  note  is  appended  to  each  group,  as  in  the  case  of  Alteratives, 
Antipyretics,  Antispasmodics,  Purgatives,  etc. 

Third.  A Summary  has  been  prepared  upon  Therapeutics,  covering  methods  of 
Administration,  Absorption  and  Elimination,  Incompatibility,  Prescription-writing,  and 
Dietary  for  the  Sick,  this  section  of  the  work  embracing  nearly  one  hundred  and  fifty 
pages.  * 

Part  II  is  devoted  to  “Remedies  and  Remedial  Agents  Not  Properly  Classed  with 
Drugs,”  and  includes  elaborate  articles  upon  the  following  topics : Electro-Therapy, 
Hydro-Therapy,  Masso-Therapy,  Heat  and  Cold,  Oxygen,  Mineral- Waters,  and,  in  addi- 
tion thereto,  other  subjects,  perhaps  of  less  significance  to  the  practitioner,  such  as  Clima- 
tology, Hypnotism  and  Suggestion,  Metallo-Therapy,  Transfusion,  and  Baunscheidtismus. 
have  received  a due  share  of  attention.  This  section  of  the  work  embraces  over  two  hun- 
dred pages,  and  will  be  found  especially  valuable  to  the  student  and  recent  graduate,  as 
these  articles  are  fully  abreast  of  the  times. 

Volume  II,  which  is  Part  III  of  the  work,  is  wholly  taken  up  with  the  consideration 
of  drags,  each  remedy  being  studied  from  three  points  of  view,  viz.,  the  Preparations,  or 
Materia  Medica;  the  Physiology  and  Toxicologv,  or  Pharmacology,  and,  lastly,  its 
Thera'py.  It  will  be  Ready  about  May  1,  1890. 

The  typography  of  the  work  will  be  found  clean,  sharp,  and  easily  read  without 
injury  to  the  visual  organs,  and  the  bold-face  type1  interspersed  throughout  the  text  makes 
the  different  subjects  discussed  quick  of  reference.  The  paper  and  binding  will  also  be  up 
to  the  standard,  and  nothing  will  be  left  undone  to  make  the  work  first-class  in  every 
particular.

The  work  throughout  is  well  balanced. 
Broad,  though  not  encyclopaedic,  concise 
nthout  sacrificing  clearness,  it  combines 
ne  essentials  of  a successful  text-book.  It 
s eminently  modern,  and,  although  first  in 
ae  field,  is  of  such  grade  of  excellence  that 
uccessors  must  reach  a high  standard  be- 
ore  they  become  competitors. — Annals  of 
Surgery. 

Dr.  Smith  has  conferred  a great  benefit 
pon  the  veterinary  profession  by  his  con- 
ribution  to  their  use  of  a work  of  immense 
alue,  and  has  provided  the  American  vet- 
rinary  student  with  the  only  means  by 
which  he  can  become  properly  familiar  with 
tie  physiology  of  our  domestic  animals. 
Veterinary  practitioners  and  graduates  will 
>ead  it  with  pleasure.  Veterinary  students 
nil  readily  acquire  needed  knowledge  from 
ts  pages,  and  veterinary  schools  which 
•would be  well  equipped  for  the  work  they 
1m  to  perform  cannot  ignore  it  as  their 
ext-book  in  physiology. — American  Veteri- 
nary Review. 

Dr.  Smith's  presentment  of  his  subject 
is  as  brief  as  the  status  of  the  science  per- 
mits,  and  to  this  much-desired  conciseness 
e has  added  an  equally  welcome  clearness 
f statement.  The  illustrations  in  the  work 
re  exceedingly  good,  and  must  prove  a 
aluable  aid  to  the  full  understanding  of 
:he  text. — Journal  of  Comparative  Medicine 
nd  Surgery. 

AVe  have  examined  the  work  in  a great 
lany  particulars,  and  find  the  views  so 
orrect,  where  we  have  had  the  means  of 
omparison  of  statements  with  those  of  some 
ecognized  authority,  that  we  will  be  com- 
elled  hereafter  to  look  to  this  work  as  the 
ext-book  on  physiology  of  animals.  The 
ook  will  prove  of  incalculable  benefit  to 
eterinarians  wherever  they  may  be  found; 
nd  to  the  country  physician,  who  is  often 
riled  upon  to  attend  to  sick  animals  as 
well  as  human  beings,  we  would  say,  lose 

0 time  in  getting  this  work  and  let  him 
imiliarize  himself  with  the  facts  it  con- 
iins.—  Virginia  Medical  Monthly. 

Altogether,  Professor  Smith’s  “ Physi- 
logy  of  the  Domestic  Animals”  is  a happy 
roduction,  and  will  be  hailed  with  delight 

1 both  the  human  medical  and  veterinary

It  may  be  said  that  it  supplies  to  the 
eterinary  student  the  place  in  physiology 
hat  Chauveau’s  incomparable  work — “ The 
omparative  Anatomy  of  the  Domesticated 
nimals” — occupies  in  anatomy.  Higher 
raise  than  this  it  is  not  possible  to  bestow, 
nd  since  it  is  true  that  the  same  laws  of 
hysiology  which  are  applicable  to  the  vital 
rocess  of  the  domestic  animals  are  also  ap- 
'icable  to  man,  a perusal  of  this  carefully

The  work  before  us  fills  the  hiatus  of 
which  complaint  has  so  often  been  made, 
and  gives  in  the  compass  of  less  than  a 
thousand  pages  a very  full  and  complete 
account  of  the  functions  of  the  body  in  both 
carnivora  and  herbivora.  The  author  has 
judiciously  made  the  nutritive  functions  the 
strong  point  of  the  work,  and  has  devoted 
special  attention  to  the  subject  of  foods  and 
digestion.  In  looking  through  the  other 
sections  of  the  work,  it  appears  to  us  that  a 
just  proportion  of  space  is  assigned  to  each, 
in  view  of  their  relative  importance  to  the 
practitioner.  Thus,  while  the  subject  of  re- 
production is  dismissed  in  a few  pages,  a 
chapter  of  considerable  length  is  devoted 
to  locomotion,  and  especially  to  the  gaits  of 
the  horse. — London  Lancet. 

This  is  almost  the  only  work  of  the  kind 
in  the  English  language,  and  it  s©  fully 
covers  every  detail  of  general  and  special 
physiology  that  there  is  no  room  for  any 
rival.  The  excellence  of  typographical 
•work,  and  the  wealth,  beauty,  and  clear- 
ness of  the  illustrations,  correspond  with 
the  thoroughness  and  clearness  of  the 
treatise. — Albany  Medical  Annals. 

It  is  not  often  that  the  medical  profes- 
sion has  the  opportunity  of  reading  a new 
book  upon  a new  subject,  and  doubtless 
English-speaking  physicians  will  feel  grate- 
ful to  Professor  Smith  for  his  admirable 
and  pioneer  work  in  a branch  of  medical 
science  upon  which  a great  amount  of  ignor- 
ance prevails.  . . . The  last  portion  of 

the  work  is  devoted  to  the  reproductive 
functions,  and  contains  much  valuable  in- 
formation upon  a portion  of  animal  physi- 
ology concerning  which  many  are  ignorant. 
The  book  is  a valuable  one  in  every  way, 
and  will  be  consulted  largely  by  veterinary 
and  medical  students  and  practitioners. — 
Buffalo  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal. 

The  appearance  of  this  work  is  most  op- 
portune. It  will  be  much  appreciated,  as 
tending  to  secure  the  thorough  comprehen- 
sion of  function  in  the  domesticated  ani- 
mals, and,  in  consequence,  their  general 
well-being — a matter  of  world-wide  impor- 
tance. AVith  a thorough  sense  of  gratifica- 
tion we  have  perused  its  pages : throughout 
we  find  clear  expression,  clear  reasoning, 
and  that  patient  accumulation  of  facts  so 
valuable  in  a text-book  for  students. — 
British  Medical  Journal. 

For  notice  this  time,  I take  up  the  vol- 
ume on  the  “.Physiology  of  the  Domestic 
Animals,”  by  Dr.  R.  Meade  Smith,  a volume 
of  938  pages,  closely  printed,  and  dealing 
with  its  subject  in  a manner  sufficiently  ex- 
haustive to  insure  its  place  as  a text-book 
for  fifteen  years  at  the  very  least.  Its 
learning  is  only  equaled  by  its  industry, 
and  its  industry  by  the  consistency  and 
skill  with  which  its  varied  parts  are  brought 
together  into  harmonious,  lucid,  and  in- 
tellectual unity. — Dr.  Benjamin  Ward 
Richardson,  in  the  London  Asclepiad.

why  every  medical  man  should  possess  a copy  of 
nt-nvumj  THE  INTERNATIONAL  pocket  medical  formulary. 


1.  Because  it  is  a handy  book  of  reference,  replete  with  the  choicest  formulae  (over  1S00  in  number’  of 
more  than  six  hundred  of  the  most  prominent  classical  writers  and  modern  practitioners. 

2.  Because  the  remedies  given  are  not  only  those  whose  efficiency  has  stood  the  test  of  time,  but  also  the 

newest  and  latest  discoveries  in  pharmacy  and  medical  science;  as  prescribed  and  used  by  the  best- 
known  American  and  foreign  modern  authorities. 

3.  Because  it  contains  the  latest,  largest  (66  formulae)  and  most  complete  collection  of  hypodermic  formula 

(including  the  latest  new  remedies)  ever  published,  with  doses  and  directions  for  their  use  iri  over 
fifty  different  diseases  and  diseased  conditions. 

4.  Because  its  appendix  is  brimful  of  information,  invaluable  in  office  work,  emergency  cases,  am:  the 

daily  routine  of  practice. 

5.  Because  it  is  a reliable  friend  to  consult  when,  in  a perplexing  or  obstinate  case,  the  u>ual  line  of  treat- 

ment is  of  no  avail.  (A  hint  or  a help  from  the  best  authorities,  as  to  choice  of  remedies,  correct 
dosage,  and  the  eligible,  elegant,  and  most  palatable  mode  of  exhibition  of  the  same.) 

6.  Because  it  is  compact,  elegantly  printed  and  bound,  well  illustrated,  and  of  convenient  size  and  shape 

for  the  pocket. 

7.  Because  the  alphabetical  arrangement  of  the  diseases  and  a thumb-letter  index  render  reference  raj. id 

and  easy. 

8.  Because  blank  leaves,  judiciously  distributed  throughout  the  book.  afFord  a place  to  record  and  index 

favorite  formula:. 

9.  Because,as  a student,  he  needs  it  for  study,  collateral  reading,  and  for  recording  the  favoriteprescription> 

of  his  professors,  in  lecture  and  clinic;  as  a recent  graduate,  he  needs  it  as  a reference  hand-book  for 
daily  use  in  prescribing  (gargles,  nasal  douches,  inhalations,  eye-washes,  suppositories,  incompatibies, 
poisons,  etc.)  ; as  an  ola  practitioner , he  needs  it  to  refresh  his  memory  on  old  remedies  and  combi- 
nations, and  for  information  concerning  newer  remedies  and  more  modern  approved  plans  of  treatment 

10.  Because  no  live,  progressive  medical  man  can  afford  to  be  without  it 


It  is  sometimes  important  that  such  prescriptions  as 
have  been  well  established  in  their  usefulness  be  preserved 
for  reference,  and  this  little  volume  serves  such  a purpose 
better  than  any  other  we  have  seen. — Columbus  3Iedical 
Journal. 

Without  doubt  this  book  is  the  best  one  of  its  class 

that  we  have  ever  seen The  printing,  binding. 

and  general  appearance  of  the  volume  aye  beyond  praise. — 
University  Medical  Magazine. 

It  may  be  possible  to  get  more  crystallized  knowledge 
in  an  equally  small  space,  but  it  does  not  seem  probable. — 
Medical  Classics. 

A very  handy  and  valuable  book  of  formulas  for  the 
physician’s  pocket.— St.  Louis  Medical  and  Surg.  Journal. 

This  little  pocket-book  contains  an  immense  number 
of  prescriptions  taken  from  high  authorities  in  this  and 
other  countries. — Northwestern  Lancet. 

This  one  is  the  most  complete  as  well  as  the  most 
conveniently  arranged  of  any  that  have  come  under  our 
attention.  The  diseases  are  enumerated  in  alphabetical 
order,  and  for  each  the  latest  and  most  approved  remedies 
from  the  ablest  authorities  are  prescribed.  The  book  is  in- 
dexed entirely  through  after  the  order  of  the  first  pages  of 
a ledger,  the  index  letter  being  printed  on  morocco  leather 
and  thereby  made  very  durable.—  Pacific  Medical  Journal. 

It  is  a book  desirable  for  the  old  practitioner  and  for 
his  younger  brothers  as  well. — St.  Joseph  3fedical  Herald. 


As  long  as  “combinations  " are  sought  such  a lx*»k 
will  be  of  value,  especially  to  those  who  cannot  spare  the 
time  required  to  learn  enough  of  incompatibilities  before 
commencing  practice  to  avoid  writing  incompatible  and 
dangerous  prescriptions.  The  constant  use  of  such  a book 
by  such  prescribes  would  save  the  pharmacist  much 
anxiety. — The  Druggists’  Circular. 

In  judicious  selection,  in  accurate  nomenclature,  in 
arrangement,  and  in  style  it  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired. 
The  editor  and  the  publisher  are  to  be  congratulated  on  the 
production  of  the  very  best  book  of  its  class. — Pittsburgh

One  must  see  it  to  realize  how  much  information  can 
be  got  into  a work  of  so  little  bulk. — Canada  Mrdir.il

To  the  young  physician  just  starting  out  in  practice 
this  little  book  will  prove  an  acceptable  companion.

The  want  of  to-day  is  crystallized  knowledge.  This 
neat  little  volume  contains  in  it  the  most  accessible  form. 
It  is  bound  in  morocco  in  pocket  form,  with  alphabetical 
divisions  of  diseases,  so  that  it  is  possible  to  turn  iustantl  \ 
to  the  remedy,  whatever  may  be  the  disorder  or  wherever 

the  patient  may  be  situated To  the  physician 

it  is  invaluable,  and  others  should  not  be  without  it.  We 
heartily  commend  the  work' to  our  readers. — .r,f

■Synopsis  of  Human  Anatomy: 

' Being  a Complete  Compend  of  Anatomy,  including  the 
Anatomy  of  the  Viscera,  and  Numerous  Tables. 

BY 

JAMES  K.  YOUNG,  M.D., 

Instructor  in  Orthopaedic  Surgery  and  Assistant  Demonstrator  of  Surgery,  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
Attending  Orthopaedic  Surgeon,  Out-Patient  Department,  University  Hospital,  etc.

I 


While  the  author  has  prepared  this  work  especially  lor  students,  sufficient  de- 
scriptive matter  has  been  added  to  render  it  extremely  valuable  to  the  busy  practitioner, 
particularly  the  sections  on  the  Viscera,  Special  Senses, 
and  Surgical  Anatomy. 

The  work  includes  a complete  account  of  Osteology, 

Articulations  and  Ligaments,  Muscles,  Fascias,  Vascular 
and  Nervous  Systems,  Alimentary,  Vocal,  and  Respiratory 
and  Genito-Urinary  Apparatuses,  the  Organs  of  Special 
Sense,  and  Surgical  Anatomy. 

In  addition  to  a most  carefully  and  accurately  prepared 
text,  wherever  possible,  the  value  of  the  work  has  been 
enhanced  by  tables  to  facilitate  and  minimize  the  labor  of 
students  in  acquiring  a thorough  knowledge  of  this  impor- 
tant subject.  The  section  on  the  teeth  has  also  been 
especially  prepared  to  meet  the  requirements  of  students 
of  Dentistry.' 

In  its  preparation,  Gray’s  Anatomy  [last  edition], 
edited  by  Keen,  being  the  anatomical  work  most  used,  has 
been  taken  as  the  standard. 


Anatomy  is  a theme  that  allows  such  concen- 
tration better  than  most  medical  subjects,  and,  as 
the  accuracy  of  this  little  book  is  beyond  question, 
its  value  is  assured.  As  a companion  to  the  dis- 
secting-table,  and  a convenient  reference  for  the 
practitioner,  it  has  a definite  field  of  usefulness. — 
Pittsburgh  Medical  Review. 

This  is  a very  carefully  prepared  compend  of 
anatomy,  and  will  be  useful  to  students  for  college  I 
or  hospital  examination.  There  are  some  excellent 
tables  in  the  work,  particularly  the  one  showing  the 
origin,  course,  distribution,  and  functions  of  the 
cranial  nerves. — Medical  Record. 

Dr.  Young  has  compiled  a very  useful  book. 
We  are  not  inclined  to  approve  of  compends  as  a 
general  rule,  but  it  certainly  serves  a good  purpose 
to  have  the  subject  of  anatomy  presented  in  a com- 
pact, reliable  way,  and  in  a book  easily  carried  to 
the  dissecting-room.  This  the  author  has  done. 
The  book  is  well  printed,  and  the  illustrations  well 
selected.  If  a student  can  indulge  in  more  than  one 
work  on  anatomy, — for,  of  course,  he  must  have  a 
general  treatise  on  the  subject, — he  can  hardly  do 
better  than  to  purchase  this  compend  It  will  save 
the  larger  work,  and  can  always  be  with  him  during 
the  hours  of  dissection. — Buffalo  Medical  and 
Surgical  Journal. 


Excellent  tables  have  been  arranged,  which 
tersely  and  clearly  present  important  anatomical 
facts,  and  the  book  will  be  found  very  convenient 
for  ready  reference. — Columbus  Medical  Journal. 

The  book  is  much  more  satisfactory  than  the 
‘'remembrances”  in  vogue,  and  yet  is  not  too  cum- 
bersome to  be  carried  around  and  read  at  odd 
moments — a property  which  the  student  will  readily 
appreciate. — Weekly  Medical  Review. 

If  a synopsis  of  human  anatomy  may  serve  a 
purpose,  and  we  believe  it  does,  it  is  very  important 
that  the  synopsis  should  be  a good  one.  In  this 
respect  the  above  work  may  be  recommended  as  a 
reliable  guide.  Dr.  Young  has  shown  excellent 
judgment  in  his  selection  of  illustrations,  in  the 
numerous  tables,  and  in  the  classification  of  the 
various  subjects.  — Therapeutic  Gazette. 

Every  unnecessary  word  has  been  excluded,  out 
of  regard  to  the  very  limited  time  at  the  medical 
student’s  disposal.  It  is  also  good  as  a reference 
book,  as  it  presents  the  facts  about  which  he  wishes 
to  refresh  his  memory  in  the  briefest  manner 
consistent  with  clearness. — New  York  Medical 
Journal 

It  is  certainly  concise  and  accurate,  and  should 
be  in  the  hands  of  every  student  and  practitioner. — 
The  Medical  Brief.

EXTRACTS  FROM  REVIEWS. 

We  venture  to  say  that  all  who  saw  the  Annual  as  it  appeared  in  1888  were  on  the 
lookout  for  its  reappearance  this  (1889)  year ; but  there  are  many  whose  knowledge  of  this 
magnificent  undertaking  will  date  with  this  present  issue,  and  to  those  a mere  examina- 
tion of  the  work  will  suffice  to  show  that  it  fills  a legitimate  place  in  the  evolution  of 
knowledge,  for  it  does  what  no  single  individual  is  capable  of  doing. 

These  volumes  make  readily  available  to  the  busy  practitioner  the  best  fruits  of 
medical  progress  for  the  year,  selected  by  able  editors  from  the  current  literature  of  the 
world ; such  a work  cannot  be  overlooked  by  anyone  who  would  keep  abreast  of  the 
times.  With  so  much  that  is  worthy  of  notice  incorporated  in  one  work,  and  each  depart- 
ment written  up  with  a minuteness  and  thoroughness  appreciated  particularly  by  the 
specialist,  it  would  avail  nothing  to  cite  particular  instances  of  progress.  Let  it  be  suffi- 
cient to  say,  however,  that  while  formerly  these  was  a possible  excuse  for  not  having  the 
latest  information  on  matters  pertaining  to  the  medical  sciences,  there  can  no  longer  be 
such  an  excuse  while  the  Annual  is  published. — Journal  of  the  American  Medical 
Association. 

We  have  before  us  the  second  issue  of  this  Annual,  and  it  is  not  speaking  too 
strongly  when  we  say  that  the  series  of  five  volumes  of  which  it  consists  forms  a most 
important  and  valuable  addition  to  medical  literature. 

Great  discretion  and  knowledge  of  the  subjects  treated  of  are  required  at  the  hands 
of  those  who  have-taken  charge  of  the  various  sections,  and  the  manner  in  which  the 
gentlemen  who  were  chosen  to  fill  the  important  posts  of  sub-editors  have  acquitted 
themselves  fully  justifies  the  choice  made.  We  know  of  no  branch  of  the  profession  to 
which  this  Annual  could  fail  to  be  useful.  Dr.  Sajous  deserves  the  thanks  of  the  whole 
profession  for  his  successful  attempt  to  facilitate  the  advance  of  medical  literature  and 
practice. — London  Lancet. 

This  very  valuable  yearly  report  of  the  progress  of  medicine  and  its  collateral 
sciences  throughout  the  world  is  a work  of  very  great  magnitude  and  high  importance. 
It  is  edited  by  Dr.  C.  E.  Sajous,  assisted,  it  is  stated,  by  seventy  associate  editors,  whose 
names  are  given,  making  up  a learned  and  most  weighty  list.  Their  joint  labors  have 
combined  to  produce  a series  of  volumes’  in  which  the  current  progress  throughout  the 
world,  in  respect  to  all  the  branches  of  medical  science,  is  very  adequately  represented. 
The  general  arrangements  of  the  book  are  ingenious  and  complete,  having  regard  to 
thoroughness  and  to  facility  of  bibliographical  reference. — British  Medical  Journal. 


ANNUAL,  1890. 

The  editor  and  publishers  of  the  Annual  of  the  Universal 
Medical  Sciences  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  its  numerous  friends 
and  patrons  for  the  liberal  support  accorded  it  in  the  past,  and  to 
announce  its  publication,  as  usual,  in  1890.  Recording,  as  it  does,  the 
progress  of  the  world  in  medicine  and  surgery,  its  motto  continues  to 
be,  as  in  the  past,  “ Improvement,”  and  its  friends  may  rest  assured  that 
no  effort  will  be  spared,  not  only  to  maintain,  but  to  surpass,  the  high 
standard  of  excellence  already  attained. 

The  Subscription  Price  will  be  the  same  as  last  year’s  issue  and 
the  issue  of  1888.

School  and  Hospital  ; Professor  of  Nervous  and  Mental  Diseases  in  the  Medical  Department  of  the

It  is  now  generally  conceded  that  the  nervous  system  controls  all  of  the  physical 
functions  to  a greater  or  less  extent,  and  .also  that  most  of  the  symptoms  encountered  at 
the  bedside  can  be  explained  and  interpreted  from  the  stand-point  of  nervous  physiology. 

The  unprecedented  sale  of  this  work  during  the  short  period  which  has  elapsed  since 
its  publication  has  already  compelled  the  publishers  to  print  a second  edition,  which  is 
already  nearly  exhausted. 


We  are  glad  to  note  that  Dr.  Ranney  has  pub- 
lished in  ccok  form  his  admirable  lectures  on  nervous 
diseases.  His  book  contains  over  seven  hundred 
large  pages,  and  is  profusely  illustrated  with  origi- 
nal diagrams  and  sketches  in  colors,  and  with  many 
carefully  selected  wood-cuts  and  reproduced  photo- 
graphs of  typical  cases.  A large  amount  of  valua- 
ble information,  not  a little  of  which  has  but  recently 


appeared  in  medical  literature,  is  presented  in  com- 
pact form,  and  thus  made  easily  accessible.  In  our 
opinion.  Dr.  Ranney's  book  ought  to  meet  with  a 
cordial  reception  at  the  hands  of  the  medical  pro- 
fession, for,  even  though  the  author’s  views  may  be 
sometimes  open  to  question,  it  cannot  be  disputed 
that  his  work  bears  evidence  of  scientific  method  and 
honest  opinion. — American  Journal  of  Insanity.

Since  the  publisher  brought  this  valuable  work  before  the  profession,  it  has  become 
1st,  the  text-book  of  a large  number  of  colleges;  2d,  the  reference-book  of  the  TJ.  S.  Army, 
Navy,  and  the  Marine  Service ; and,  3d,  an  important  and  valued  addition  to  the  libraries 
of  over  7000  physicians. 

This  book  has  not  only  the  inherent  merit  of  presenting  a clear  expose  of  the  subject, 
but  it  is  written  with  a view  to  enable  the  general  practitioner  to  treat  his  cases  himself. 
To  facilitate  diagnosis,  colored  plates  are  introduced,  showing  the  appearance  of  the  differ- 
ent parts  in  the  diseased  state  as  they  appear  in  nature  by  artificial  light.  No  error  can 
thus  be  made,  a.s  each  affection  of  the  nose  and  throat  has  its  representative  in  the  100 
rhromo-lithog raphs  presented.  In  the  matter  of  treatment,  the  indications  are  so  complete 
that  even  the  slightest  procedures,  folding  of  cotton  for  the  forceps,  the  use  of  the  probe, 
etc.,  are  clearly  explained. 

It  is  intended  to  furnish  the  general  practitioner  ||  they  would  appear  to  him  were  they  seen  in  the 
not  only  with  a guide  for  the  treatment  of  diseases  of  j living  subject.  As  a guide  to  the  treatment  of  the 
the  nose  and  throat,  but  also  to  place  before  him  a it  nose  and  throat,  we  can  cordially  recommend  this 
representation  of  the  normal  and  diseased  parts  as  I work. — Boston  Medical  and  Surgical  Journal.
